Twenty Thirteen Child Theme – Halo

Halo is a child theme for Twenty Thirteen WordPress theme. This theme was designed to change the default date displayed for your content. Instead of the “published date” it shows the “last updated/modified date”.  This is very useful if you are maintaining a blog and regularly update your old content.

Halo theme increases the navigation menu font size to make it much more visible to eyes. It also makes the widget menu title almost as big as heading h3.

    I’ve already seen a few themes based on the default Twenty Thirteen layout. Some of them are actual child themes, while others use the latter merely as an inspiration. What I like the most about any child theme is that your customization efforts will never go waste after a parent theme update, no matter how many modifications are made. Regarding Halo, I admire the way it sports a minimalist centered layout. Minimalist wordpress themes like Dinosaur Park and Tune Station are my favorite, since they are cleaner, more impressive and much more modern looking.
